Maps provide more detailed information than globes and are easier to carry. There are different types of maps - physical maps show natural features, political maps show boundaries of countries and states, and thematic maps focus on specific information like transportation or natural resources. Maps use scale, direction, symbols and sketches/plans to accurately portray distances, locations and features in a concise visual manner to help with navigation and understanding relationships between places.

1. Sir,Mujhe maps
padhne ka man nhi
hai
Hum logo ne
globe to padh liya
hai ab map ku

2. Difference between globe and Map
Globe
Provide limited imformation.
Cannot be taken every where.
Used to study earth as a whole
Maps
• Provide more information.
• Are easier to carry.
More useful

3. Physical map
Thematic map
Political map

4. Physical map
Maps showing natural features of the earth such as
mountains, plateaus, plains, rivers, oceans etc. are
called physical or relief maps.

5. Political map
Maps showing cities, towns and villages, and different
countries and states of the world with their boundaries
are called political maps.

6. Thematic map
Some maps focus on specific information; such as road
maps, rainfall maps, maps showing distribution of forests,
industries etc. are known as thematic maps.

7. Distance
Direction
Symbol

8. Distance
• . When a small area
like your village or
town is to be shown
on paper, then we
use a large scale that
is 5 cm. on the map
shows 500 metres
only on the ground.It
is called a large scale
map. Large scale
maps give more
information than
small scale maps

9. Distance
• Maps are scaled representations
of the world, accurately
depicting distances.
• Scale is the ratio between real
ground distance and map
distance.
• For instance, 1cm = 5km means
1cm on map is 5km on ground.
Scale aids distance calculation.
• Small scale maps show continents
with 5cm = 500km, while large
scale maps depict towns with 5cm
= 500m. Large scale maps offer
more detail.

10. Direction
• Maps feature a 'N' arrow
indicating north, guiding
other directions.
• Cardinal points include
North, South, East, and West,
while intermediate directions
are NE, SE, SW, and NW.
• To find directions, use a
compass with a magnetic
needle pointing north-south.
• It aids in locating places
accurately.

11. Symbols
• Symbols are a vital map component.
• They represent features like buildings,
roads, and trees, which can't be drawn
precisely.
• Using letters, colors, pictures, and lines,
symbols convey information efficiently
in a small space.
• They simplify map creation and
reading, allowing information collection
without knowing local language.
• Maps possess a universal language due
to these symbols.
• Conventional symbols, standardized
globally, have an international
agreement.

12. Sketch
Plan

13. Sketch and plan
Sketch
• A sketch is a nonscaled
drawing based on memory
and observations.
• It's often used to give
directional guidance or a
basic overview of a place.
• For instance, a friend might
draw a simple sketch to
show you how to reach their
house.
Plan
• A plan, on the other hand, is a
scaled drawing of a small area,
often on a larger scale.
• Plans provide detailed
information, like room
dimensions, which may not be
feasible on a map.
• In essence, sketches are
unscaled, rough illustrations
for guidance, while plans are
scaled drawings providing
specific details.
